Megadeth's "Holy Wars" utilizes chromatics in its main, instantly-identifiable riff, so hearing it with just a few notes pushed around to fit a major key just sounds… weird. Same thing for the rest for the song, but Happy Metal isn't called Happy Metal for nothing, right? At least when everyone's killing in the name of religion in the song, they're smiling now.
